3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole
receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.
• An extension cord must have
adequate wire size (AWG or American
Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the
gauge number of the wire, the greater
the capacity of the cable, that is 16
gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. When using more than one
extension to make up the total length, be
sure each individual extension contains
at least the minimum wire size. The
following table shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.

WARNING:
Blades coast after turn
off. Serious personal injury may result.
WARNING
: ALWAYS wear proper
personal hearing protection that
conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) during
use. Under some conditions and duration
of use, noise from this product may
contribute to hearing loss.
WARNING
: ALWAYS use proper eye
protection. All users and bystanders must
wear proper eye protection that conforms to
ANSI Z87.1.
WARNING
: ALWAYS USE SAFETY
GLASSES. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT
safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask
if cutting operation is dusty.
ALWAYS wear certified safety equipment:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA
Z94.3).
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection.
• NIOSH/OSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING
: Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities contains
chemicals known in the state of California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints, crystalline silica
from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and arsenic and chromium from
chemically-treated lumber (CCA).
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust
from power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction
activities. Wear protective clothing
and wash exposed areas with soap
and water. Allowing dust to get into
your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING
: Cutting plastics, sap
coated wood, and other materials may
cause melted material to accumulate on the
blade tips and the body of the saw blade,
increasing the risk of blade overheating and
binding while cutting.
WARNING
: Use of this tool can
generate and/or disburse dust, which may
cause serious and permanent respiratory or
other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA
approved respiratory protection appropriate
for the dust exposure. Direct particles away
from face and body. Always operate tool in
well-ventilated area and provide for proper
dust removal. Use dust collection system
wherever possible.
